MANTRA halts new unbonding transactions for 7 days after wallet compromise

RWA-focused layer-1 blockchain MANTRA said it will suspend all new staking unbonding transactions for seven days to prevent further damage from private-key theft attacks involving Web3Auth and Keplr wallets. The project said unbonding processes already underway are not subject to the halt. MANTRA added that affected users must redelegate before the eight-day unbonding process is completed if they want to prevent hackers from receiving tokens and transferring them to external addresses. It said any unbonding initiated after redelegation will remain paused until the emergency measure is lifted, and added it will review the policy after seven days and may impose additional suspension measures.
